yes, and its all circumstantial. also, there are many missing links that we cant explain and we dont know why theyre missing..

As far as I've been able to figure out, Intelligent Design says that all that happened, exactly like evolutionary laws would predict, only God was watching it happen, and that somehow makes it significantly different. Can someone fill me in?
if thats what you think ID is, then you have A LOT to learn...

here are some facts about intelligent design..

1. its not the same as creationism. creationism is a religious belief. ID is not.
2. it doesnt rule out evolution. evolution is a form of intelligent pattern. its not random..
3. it doesnt prove a god. god and intelligence are completely different.
4. ID is an idea that can exist without the idea of a god.
5. there are more than one idea of ID just like there are more then one idea of evolution.
